There was not much business done il

most important matters being the max
ing public of the letters Mayor Eccles
received from Manager Potter, con-
corning the depot. The letters were
dated July 9th and 18th, and of the ma
ture of their contents. the pucllc is
already aware, through what President
Adams has said. The letters merely
stated that nothing could be done in
the matter at present. Through the
local press quite a tempest had been
worked up over the fact that Mayor
Eccles had held the letters he received
from Mr.. Potter, instead of giving them
TO the public through the aforesaid
press, and the matter was discussed IL
the Council, that body heartily endors-
ing the Mayors action in the premises.
Mr.. Eccles stated for The edificanon OF
the public, that he considered no ex-
plantations to the press due from him,
and would consequently make none, q
view in which the great public will
doubtless coincide.

Worth of JeWslry.

Hans Petersen is German by birth,
and has been occupied on the railroad
transfer in this city. His occupation
it seems, however, has been changed
and yesterday he fell into the hands of
the police for one of the coolest at
tempts at swindling that has been per-
petrated hereabout for some time. 1t
seems that Petersen went into the
jewelry store of J. S Lewis & Co., of
this city, with the deliberate intention
of beating the firm out of large sum of
money. He made large selection of
choice jewelry a gregating in value
some 81 200. The jeweiry he packed and
place in his vahse, then remarked to
Mr.. Hyrum Lewis who was in charge
of the store and who had waited on him,
that # he would accompany the
purchaser to the bank he would Y the
bill. Mr.. Lewis picked up the valise
containing the welry and the two
walked over to the bank when MIR.
Lewis sat the valise down and waited
| to get his money. After standing in he
bank few minutes Petersen delib-r-
ately picked up the valise and started
10 leave but was detained by Mr.. Lewi'
who insisted on obtaining the 81 20C
before ne permitted Petersen to GO
away. The william coolly remarked that
the valise belonged to him and
he proposed to take it,. Mr.
/ Lewis objection, however, coupled with
some force, prevailed, and the dem
qaent was handed over to the police
and was safely landed in the City Jail
where he awaits the demands of justice
